Our Registrar of Voters sent my wife and I separate notices saying somebody in our household said we don't speak English. We were supposed to return them saying which language we wanted our ballots in. We threw the da**ed things away, cursing aloud how you shouldn't vote if you don't speak English.
Well, today, at the polling place, we didn't have an "X" next to our name, so the nice polling lady had to read us a notice from a huge card about our rights to get a ballot in any language. I went ballistic in front of her and the other poll workers, complaining that I've spoken English my whole life and nobody should ever ask me what language I want to vote in. They made me fill out a card saying I wanted to vote in English and get future voting materials in English. One of the poll workers actually said "Yes" when I said that people that don't speak English shouldn't be allowed to vote.
Mr. Fong was at the table helping out as an interpreter for the Chinese people who don't speak English.
BTW, my father's family immigrated from Germany in the late 1920s. They learned English pretty quickly to survive.
To top it all off, our polling place was the local firehouse. They have a new placard on the exterior of the building saying it is a "Safe Drop" location. The sign shows a pair of hands receiving a throw-away baby. Aaargh!
Welcome to America! :)
You should move to the midwest, even our Congressman came back from Washing on a beark, during his speech he said, how wonderful to be back in the midwest, where people still have common sense.
